I am grateful that my family has a place to lie their heads at night when so many do not. I am grateful that my partner and I have worked through most of our problems and can be truly open with each other. I am grateful for a place such as this, because I feel so much less alone knowing that I am not the only person left in this world that questions the consequences of our actions and those around us. I am grateful that I chose love over hate. I am grateful to all of you for allowing me to speak with you, even if I have not had the courage to post all of my problems. Thank you, Jai. I hope you are doing well in your search for yourself. May you never hide your true face again.

I have a certain person on here that I feel that way about myself. Some people just can't resist starting crap, and a board like this is probably a great picking ground for trolls. I am sorry that someone upset you, and I hope you are okay. How are your injuries healing?

Leo, You are going through so much right now that it would be hard not to feel tired. I saw on another post that you have panic attacks, and I know how those go. I find it's useful to empathize calming down at least once a day, for me usually at night. Light some candles, listen to jazz or whatever calming music you prefer, and try to just push everything out of your mind, if even for a little while. Just relax, breathe, and be. It really does help, and sometimes after having a really good relaxing session, I find myself giggling hysterically about my plight. Because we are only online and not face to face, all I can offer is that you are not alone. People do understand...For whatever that is worth.

You can never go wrong with a little Metallica. I've never heard the blues version of Enter Sandman. I just have to post an oldie but goodie. Master of Puppets http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WEL6_SuQCu8

I love, love, love Nina Simone. She's a huge inspiration as a person and a woman. Here's one of my favorites by her: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f5rGERV1N-s And Pseudo, I LOVE Tool! They are on my list of bands I have to see in concert sometime in the future.
